What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Up in Edmonton we didn't see any!

 

Any info on that basket and bars you have there? That's something similar to what I want to do using my bed-divider.

 

mounted up a shovel today

 

Oh no I don’t care the the foam is exposed around the posts. I wanted to make sure that’s how it’s done normally (or if they left the removesble rear covers on). If the members pic didn’t have foam exposed then I would of removed the katzkin reinstall the factory cover and reinstall.

 

I finished the home-built rack today on my new TRD Sport LBAC manual. It's for carrying building supplies and paddle boards and the 30' long mast for my sailboat (with an upright bed extender mounted in a front hitch receiver). I couldn't find anything ready-built that I liked. They were too tall, and didn't support removing the aft cross-member for loading tall items. And it bugged me that the aft parts of the racks seem to usually be a foot or so from the end of the bed. The lower ends of my vertical members are all attached to the hard points for the tie-downs with home-fabricated aluminum brackets. Cross members are thick-wall 1.5" OD aluminum pipe with fire hose for padding for the mast and paddleboards.

 

Did you make the rack? They look like rails for the bed. Very nice!

 

The basket is actually a hitch mounted cargo carrier. I deleted the square tube and just bolted the two sides of the basket together. Had to make some minor mods and paint but came out great for a basket less than $40. Here are some photos of how I connected to the cab rail so that I only had to use 1 bar :


The bars are OEM Toyota from the 2nd Gens that I bought locally (I don't think Toyota sells these anymore).

 

Thanks! The bars are Toyota and there're the same as the rails so you can use the bed cleats in them too.

Lifted the hood and applied some decals

 

Installed some Redline struts. They work well.

Before I get yelled at, I have search function'd my ass off. Got my spacers on today and am super clear of any rubbing on the inside of the tire but I'm catching the back of the well basically every time I back up and turn. Both sides but seems like driver side is worse. I've found some info on the heat gun / blow dryer method with a mallet but this feels like some pretty hard plastic or even metal. Anyone trimmed this spot before? Very bottom section of the well. Much appreciated and Merry Xmas to my TW fam!!!

 

Trim away!

 

Beautiful truck. Just the look I’m interested in. Is that a wrap? In Army Green?

 

Not today, but added a little seasonal flair to the dash. Hope that all your Christmas wishes come true!
Also, do you think MESO has a kit to make this a little brighter?

 

Gives me an idea of a diy project that’s going to my “things to do but probably won’t do for another couple years list”

 

All Pro Bed Stiffiners. Not done yet. Ran out of light. My little clip on LEDs with magnets work great. Like em. And didn't have to trim my mat.

 

Was it pricey?, thanks

 

That's awesome!

Yes the lamp from one of the best Christmas movies! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Story
